U.S. Election Day Newsquips

Written by Joel Johannesen on Tuesday November 04 2008 at 07:55 AM


Updated through the day as long as I see any interest from PTBC readers via their comments or support dollars. Refresh the page. Come back often.  


image 1.  Hey you know that whole Sarah Palin “Trooper-Gate” (love that “Gate” thing they always add to anything not left-wing-related)?  It magically resolved itself late yesterday ...for today’s media to bury on page 84.  (Palin cleared. Duh).  I wonder how that timing worked.  Anyway, the only way the liberals’ media would cover it even now is if they could somehow squeeze the latest number of Iraq war dead in their story (they won’t because the Americans are now clearly on the verge of winning that war—haven’t you wondered why they aren’t covering that war anymore?), or if they could mention Bush in derogatory terms 87 times.  Meanwhile media-gate —the total corruption of the now out of the closet uber liberal and in the tank for Obama and liberals and agenda-driving —media is the biggest story after the election itself.  They won’t report that either. 

2.    Today’s CBC coverage of the U.S. election is all about their ♥Obama♥.  Barack Obama has voted ... Win or lose, Obama will be speaking in so-and-so today and tonight.  ... a lot of people will be here to listen to Obama talk ... It took Barack Obama several minutes to vote today with his wife Michelle Obama… around the world he’s the “global candidate” ... he’s sooo hot… (OK that last bit was just something I imagined the CBC boys and girls thinking as judged by their on-air coverage) ... 

3.  I liked this Media Research Center media-watch article headlined GOP Palin Critics ‘Intellectual,’ Palin Backers ‘Knuckle-Draggers’?:  “ - During a roundtable discussion in the 3 PM EST hour of Monday’s Newsroom program with conservative talk show host Martha Zoller and left-wing host Mike Malloy, CNN anchor Rick Sanchez strangely differentiated between “intellectual” conservatives who are “not so crazy” about Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and social conservatives who “love” her.  Sanchez then described Zoller as a “mix” of the two.  Later in the segment, Malloy opined that Sarah Palin “brought out the crazy people. That’s what the Republican base is. The Republican base are people who don’t want the queers to get married. They don’t want a woman to have a right to privacy. They want to do away with capital gains taxes, which has nothing whatsoever to do with their life. What Sarah Palin did was bring out the knuckle-draggers, the mouth-breathers…”” ... They’re what they self-describe as “the most trusted name in news”, by which they must mean to have added “to intolerant, far-left zealots.” 

4. HILARIOUS, DELUSIONAL CBC - Canadian dollar is up and markets are up, today, at the moment.  The socialism-reliant CBC business segment reporter therefore suggests that it’s because Americans have already factored-in an Obama election win.  W H A T ?  ... stand by while I get some exact wording.  OK here’s some:  “...Now some analysts do believe the U.S. dollar will strengthen with a Barack Obama win in today’s presidential election ... [then later] ...now some analysts think they have already priced-in an Obama win because of his lead in the polls but believe if the Democrats win a strong majority it will allow the new administration to pass legislation more easily and that in turn could mean a boost to stocks later this week as well.”  ... For better understanding, try standing on your head.

5.    image CBC in violation of their own terms of journalistic practices? Just now, CBC hauled out a supposedly run-of-the-mill “political commentator” (their own words) to supposedly objectively comment on Sarah Palin and how she has affected the vote the in Alaska.  Without telling the viewers about her LEFT-WING, ANTI SARAH PALIN STANCE, they get an extreme anti-Sarah Palin politico named Shannyn Moore to comment, and naturally she bashed Palin—much to the apparent satisfaction of CBC anchor Nancy Wilson, who simply said “mmm” repeatedly as Moore raged against Palin and how much she’s hated by many in Alaska and how Alaska should “recall her” as Governor for all her “abuses” after the election, assuming she loses… stand by while I get some of the exact wording. 

OK here’s some: 

CBC anchor Nancy Wilson: ...What are you hearing uhh from Alaskans I mean what are they feeling about HER?

Shannyn Moore: There has been a HUGE FLIP on Sarah Palin you know when she was nominated the big discussion was [she then assumes this overly animated, dramatic, breathy voice in what I take to be her imitation of what she thinks are idiot Alaskans and Americans generally] ‘this is America’s most famous, most popular governor and she’s you know in her own state everybody’s crazy about her’, and that’s simply isn’t the case.  There’s been, you know, there’s been ummm, there’s been an ethics violation that she’s been found guilty of, there’s been abuse of power, there’s been a real ... there’s been a real scrutiny on her ... and she hasn’t really measured up to it ... [Palin]‘s hurt Alaska...

CBC anchor Nancy Wilson: Whaduya think will happen to her next after the election?

Shannyn Moore: Sigh… Well [laughing] we’ve been discussing this wondering how to deal with it. I know there’s a group of Alaskan’s looking to recall her because of her abuse of power charges ... she’s going to have a real hard time ...

CBC anchor Nancy Wilson: Very interesting Shannyn Moore thanks for joining us today with your observations on voting day! 

Shannyn Moore: My pleasure!

... CONTRADISTINCTION:  CBS and Fox News both had Ann Coulter on this morning, and both times she was introduced, under no uncertain terms, as a “conservative” or “Republican” commentator.  Even though most people already know who in tarnation she is. 

6.  Holy overstatement, Batman.  CBC anchor Nancy Wilson just called this election, and I quote, “the most important election since democracy was born”.  ... update New anchor, Suhana Meharchand: similar sentiment:  “America is voting in the most important election since its democracy was born!”

image7.  CBC’s reporter Henry Champ on Palin:  informs Canadians she’s got SOME intelligence; and informs us there’s a question of whether she’s from a trailer park:  “...This is a woman of SOME attractiveness, clearly SOME intelligence, SOME diligence, and uhh and with the popularity she’s gained within her own party, the opportunity to GROW in uh positions that she wants you can see her back again, on the scene ... now mind you she took a lot of hits:  hits on her uh lack of awareness, the question of whether she was more from the trailer park than from the suburbs, things of that kind, but all of those things can be overcome.  And you can bet that there are people within the Republican Party who are looking at her saying let’s get together with this woman, let’s put some money into this thing, let’s see what can happen further on down the road.” ... The CBC is “clearly” “SOME” trailer trash.   

8.  Fox News Channel reports that members of the Black Panthers brandishing a night stick were intimidating voters at a polling station.  Don’t worry, they weren’t intimidating voters to vote for McCain.  See video (at right).  This won’t be on the CBC’s vast All ♥Barack♥, All The Time coverage today.  ... update One Black Panther holding a night stick was escorted away by police.  ... was heard to say that they’re tired of “white supremacy”. Fox News now with video of Black Panther with night stick before being led away… Fox News reporter questions remaining Black Panther who tells the reporter he has no right to be there (they do)... Here’s a YouTube video link from a citizen with a cellphone camera clip.  Here’s the police encounter. 

9.    Passing thoughts… Switched to Fox News Channel for a few minutes, and the difference between it and the lowly, stupid, biased left-wing, state-owned, state-run CBC trailer-trash-vision.... is remarkable.  FNC is like a breath of fresh air.  Lively, funny, informative, educational, full of facts, colorful, interesting, fast-paced…  watching CBC you get stupider by the minute; watching FNC you get smarter.

image10.   CTV Newsnet currently engaging in post-campaign analysis with…. Kim Campbell.  ... We’re going to gain any knowledge from THAT one?  That blip?  She’s an expert in elections? And strategies?  Hint number One:  She thinks McCain’s campaign was too hard-hitting on Obama. 

11.   Once again, very few people are reading any of this, apparently.  I’m sort of the Kim Campbell of blogging I guess.

    Can you imagine the MSM’s outrage if that had been a member of the KKK standing in front of a polling place? (but there’s no bias in the media - - - - nudge, nudge - wink, wink)

    As it is, there were 2 of them and the police came and escorted 1 of them away. I guess there was a need for someone to intimidate at another spot and the guy needed a ride.

    I just sent this to Governor Palin;

    Governor Palin;

    I just wanted to write and let you know that I am extremely impressed with you. I have watched your reactions to the way you have been portrayed and must say that I admire the heck out of you.

    I have never seen someone atacked as you have been this last few months by so many in both the media and the general public. The scandalous remarks and allegations about you were sickening. The only bright spot was your ability to rise above it and continue to represent yourself in a positive and straightforward manner.

    Governor Palin, I do not live in your State or even in your country so I cannot support you with my vote but be assured, that if I could, I would be a wholehearted supporter. You are the kind of politician I have been praying for over the past decade. I have been asking God to prepare people for office who are honest and will govern with the thought of the people first.

    I wish you luck in the outcome of today’s vote but should it not go your way this time, I have every confidence that you will be back in 2012 at the top of the ticket with the support of the entire country behind you.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I will be continuing to pray for you and your family.

    Yours truly,

    You should get a clue.Conservatives are resurging everywhere, France, Italy and Germany have conservative leaning leaders. Also watch Great Briton next election.
    Also Hussein Obama hasn’t won yet.
    Speaking of media bias Associated Press has a , probably not final swipe at George W Bush.

    Interesting to see Fox News isn’t showing the pretty blue colours across the map. Nor are they counting the electoral vote butt kicking McCain is getting.

    Their web site broke? Or is it sour grapes for the most biased news agency on the planet (tied with CBC).

    No wonder right thinking people want little or nothing to do with them. At least we don’t think they should be killed like has been sugested about Joe the Plumber.

    I really hope they keep in mind exactly what they have been saying about George Bush for the past 8 years and contrast that with how the right reacts to Obama. I think you’ll hear very few outright filthy remarks about him. Not like we have heard from the left, the party of love and hope and change.

    I don’t recognise the USA.

    Silly question:
    If it I’m accused of being racist because I don’t see any strength in Obama, why can all the media gloat when they say wow! The USA has a black President?
    What is racism anyway?

    Mark my words, in 4 years time with the empty suit President Obama, empty dress Nancy Pelosi - House [cough] leader and empty suit Harry Reid - Senate [wheez] leader running the US into the ground with their socialist yammerings you will then see real change.  Hopefully in that time the Republicans try to remember what they actually stand for and not what Katie Couric thinks they should.  It’s time we stopped the looney left from defining us and we went by our convictions and beliefs.  As soon as we try to morph into emptiness and nothiness filled with gas-bag rhetoric and appeasers of evil around the world we just become an Obama clone.  Nice suits, smile but little else.

    Oh my! You actually published a negative comment! Have you grown a pair?

    >Apparently, Clueboy, Craig and Salvage are determined to prove what has been being said all along. Leftists are not only poor losers, but poor winners as well.

    While I can’t speak for them I’m not such thing, I haven’t won anything. I didn’t vote for Obama and I doubt I would as he fails a few of my own litmus tests to receive my vote.

    >At least we don’t think they should be killed like has been sugested about Joe the Plumber.

    Ha! Ha! Yes! Obama’s “Kill the Plumber” chant was a little harsh.

    >I really hope they keep in mind exactly what they have been saying about George Bush for the past 8 years and contrast that with how the right reacts to Obama.

    See people started hating Bush when he started screwing up. Cause / effect? If Obama starts a war on lies, screws it up and gets a bunch of people killed he will likewise be hated.

    And since Bush has the lowest approval score in the history of America and that Obama’s landslide victor was a vote against Bush’s policy I’d say anyone who likes Bush is in a flat-Earth minority.

    >I think you’ll hear very few outright filthy remarks about him. Not like we have heard from the left, the party of love and hope and change.

    Because there is nothing bad that sane people can say about him, so far of course.

    Y’all on the other hand are going to be rabid crazy, nothing Obama does will meet with your approval, your hate will be as endless as it is crazed.

    And of course anything good that does come out of his Administration, well that you’ll say was because of GW just as anything bad from the GW Administration was Clinton’s fault.

    The Liberals hated Bush the day Gore did not win right away.  And it has gotten worse ever since.  Yes, we will ride Obama like a rented mule every time he missteps(which will be a lot)  Liberals, don’t ate us because we act like you sometimes.  Fair is fair, so don’t ry wen you get a taste of your own medicine.  But we will not become so unhined that we wish Obama’s death or assisination(the way liberals do).  onservatives ave morals, and we try to be consistent with our morals.  We will NOT act like petulent children the way the liberals did.  Be on your BEST behavior OBAMA, or we will nail your butt.

  1. Joel Johannesen says:

    Here’s at least part of the deal on the ever so large-balled, yet nameless internet stalker of sorts who calls herself “salvage” (it’s a one-name thing like Madonna or something I guess):

    She comes here every single day, and reads every one of my blog entries, and repeatedly writes comments (not usually approved) calling me stupid, even though she knows her comments aren’t being published.  And they aren’t published because ironically, comments like that are…. say it with me… pretty damn stupid —a concept which flies right over her head. 

    They’re also rejected because she often expresses pure, sometimes vile, unhinged hatred toward me. And that adds no value to my web site or my life or yours.  I don’t feel the compulsion to provide a platform for liberals to express hate toward me, at my expense.  I mean they have the CBC and a half million other liberal-left outlets. I don’t need to add another one. (It’s bad enough I provide a platform for conservatives to express their support for conservative ideals, and they don’t!)

    She has written dozens of comments here, over many months, many of them with the main —or only— point being that I’m stupid.  As in, “you’re stupid”.  Sometimes that’s all that is contained in the comment.  And then she’s surprised (as she expressed today, #16 above), that they aren’t approved (—owing to my lack of balls, if I understand correctly by the “grown a pair” argument).

    Actual example from May ‘08:

    “Man, there is nothing you can’t be stupid about is there?”


    (—full stop—that was the entire comment.)

    From April ‘08:

    “AHAHA AHHAHAH AAHHAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHAHAH!
    AHAHAAHHAHA HAAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAH AHAHAH!
    AHAHAA HHAHAHAA HHAHAHAHAH AHAHAH AHAHAH!
    AHAHAA HHAHAHA AHHAHAH AHAHAHAHA HAHAHAH!
    You are very stupid.”

    (—full stop—that was the entire comment.)

    Today’s first comment (#10 above):

    “you’re just stupid and crazy…”

    Now also “crazy”. 

    Huh.
